Pars Today – Over the past week, Yemen has witnessed significant events, including an attack on the Israeli regime’s “Ben Gurion” airport and large-scale protests against the regime.

The Yemeni army announced a military operation using a hypersonic ballistic missile against Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. According to Pars Today, citing IRIB News Agency, Yahya Saree, spokesperson for Yemen’s armed forces, said:

“The missile forces carried out a military operation with a hypersonic ballistic missile of the Palestine-2 type, targeting Al-Lydd airport (Ben Gurion) in Tel Aviv. The attack forced millions of Zionist settlers to flee to shelters and brought airport operations to a halt.”

He stated that the operation was carried out in support of the Palestinian people and their resistance fighters, and in retaliation for the crimes of mass killings, starvation in Gaza, and the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Zionist settlers. Saree added:

“This is to make the enemy and the world know that our great nation, with its proud history, culture of faith, and genuine principles, will continue its stance in supporting Gaza. Our people do not fear threats on the path of aiding Palestine and can overcome all challenges. We will stand with Gaza until victory, and with Palestine until liberation. Our operations will continue until the aggression stops and the siege of Gaza is lifted.”

He added that the aim of announcing and implementing the fourth phase is to actively blockade all Israeli regime ports by exerting pressure on shipping companies that cooperate with these ports.
